Been there, done that.
If the fitting is like other tranny lines I have seen, it is a flare
fitting, so the threads don't do the sealing, the flare does.
Again assuming you damaged the threads like I have, the damage is on the
radiator, and the cooler lines are fine
Go get a small triangular file and dress the threads on the radiator until
you can thread it on correctly.
Good luck
Rick
